Bindweed is evil and I think sometimes its roots must go for miles. I cannot imagine turnips killing it. Still it might make a great cover crop and prevent further spread of some of these weeds.

same thing with me... go to bed, hoping I can sleep through the night...no, most nights it's a wake up, every half hour, or 45 minutes, or less..I see the clock, try to sleep... it goes on through out the night. before, I used to take a tablet of paper and a pen. push them under the pillow.. if I woke up and had any thoughts, I'd pull it out and write it down..in the dark..it didn't matter if I had it correct or not, at least I had the idea written. that helped a lot. I had ideas for short stories, poems, things to build, things to paint, others to create with fabric, clay, rocks, or make garden ideas.. and in the end, it didn't matter if I did any of it.. I was just happy to have the idea written down and I could let go of it. I could read it in the morning, cuz I had it in print, or scribbled... it was my doctor who suggested it... he had 7 kids and his best time to study or write his papers, was after the kids were in bed..if he was tired but couldn't sleep, he would do that type of reading and writing. it worked for him, so he suggested it to me. back then, I had most of my kids still at home, too young to get themselves ready for bed.. I was exhausted...and that idea worked! dang, and lately I haven't been able to sleep through the night...so, thankyou, thankyou for asking for advice. I can take my own advice now and go ahead and get to bed..I have paper and pen right here, next to the computer....I sure wish I had remembered this, weeks ago! geez.......... nightee nite...............

Get your blood pumping, your pulse to quicken. That oxygenates the blood going to the brain, making the synapses fire more efficiently, elevating mood & helping depression. Walk, dance, bicycle, work in the garden. If you need to have a commitment to get yourself moving, sign up to take a class or to help with a class: jazzercise helped me 20 years ago (don't know what they have now), but I *signed up for the class*, & I went every time. & a friend of mine sometimes moans & groans & bellyaches about being tired, but she shows up every time to teach ballet to the little girls class at a recreation center.

My golden retriever Camden had anal gland issues where I was taking her to get them purged at the vet every 3 weeks…. Before learning to do it myself. Ewww. Ha! I started her on “Perfect Form” by honest kitchen - it’s a supplement powder you mix into her food. No more issues with her butt ever since! Highly recommend. She is 9 now and we’ve been using this powder since she was around 2. She has “loose” glands so the perfect form made her have to work just a little harder and squeeze her stool out which lets her purge her glands naturally and on her own now! Praise be! My other golden retriever Cara is 12 and has been battling some type of undiagnosed skin dermatitis/autoimmune disorder of some kind. Her belly area gets scaly and turns into open lesions. Started as dry skin about three years ago and then she lost her belly hair. We finally saw a dermatologist and her first thought was food allergies. We’ve switched her food a few times, tried elimination diets, and now have her on a hydrolyzed protein diet by Royal Canin. No real improvement yet so hopefully we can see what the dermatologist says at the follow up. It still may be environmental allergies however it seems unlikely since we have never moved. It’s been almost 8 weeks on the HP food. 8 is the minimum amount of time to see results with food/diet Changes from what we have been told. We shall see! We’ve been spot washing her a few times a week with Maleseb (leaving on 5-10 min) and putting neo predef powder on the wounds when her skin flares up (when we forget to treat her for too long). Doing this clears up the issues in about a week or less….but only temporary…. When we stop then the scales come back and area gets inflamed and oozy and scabby again. Looking forward to trying the COAT DEFENSE canine powder listed above. Just ordered it so please send prayers please! Hope this helps some other pet owners out there!
